I won't get into what I think of Dawkins' science or philosophy, but I've heard
him described by neutral folk as a fundamentalist atheist, that is, his
attitude and demeanor is the same as the fire-and-brimstone religious
fundamentalist, only the opposite side of the coin. Different belief system,
just as annoying. <g> Or maybe he's Western atheism's version of the Taliban,
I don't know. <g>
